# Events Calendar Pro 5.5.0

### Summary

Maintenance Release

This updated version of Events Calendar Pro features the addition of the option to add Filter Bar for embedded calendar views using the `[tribe_events]` shortcode.

This is a maintenance release that focuses on added features and bug fixes.

As always, we recommend updating on a [staging site](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/creating-and-using-a-wordpress-staging-site/), just to be safe, but it should all be smooth sailing.

#### ✨ New

New features included in this release:

- The updated [`[tribe_events]`](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/calendar-embed-shortcodes/) shortcode now supports our Filter Bar plugin.
- We have adedd new parameters to the `[tribe_events]` shortcode to hide the datepicker and export button.

#### ✅ Fixed

Bugs that were squashed in this release:

- Fusion Core and Avada Widget implementation of The Events Calendar will no longer throw warnings on the frontend display.
- We now use the correct handling of search parameters for widget admin dropdown menus.
- When saving recurring events with the Block Editor, Featured and Sticky events are being propagated and saved correctly.
- The Hide Recurrence setting now applies when Month or Week are the default selected views and `[tribe_events]` shortcode is being used.
- We now use an updated swiper version to avoid conflicts with Elementor.
